sample application for learning Ruby on Rails. In the year that past,
Jake worked along the way adding features into his forked version of
eXPlainPMT for his current employer. Since October 2006, Jake has
been re-implementing his features and making small changes to existing
features based off of feedback he has received from the users of
eXPlainPMT. As of today, all of the features have been merged and we
